4.0
4 stars | tagged on the StoryGraph as medium-paced, character-driven, emotional, and mysterious
"I get the feeling that if I could see myself the way you see me, I'd like what I was looking at."
I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would because, while the summary was interesting and got me reading, it's a story about so much more. I connected with James and Ash quickly, seeing pieces of my high school self in both of them. I thought the book was well organized with the multiple POVs and timelines, though some felt unnecessary at times. There was some harmful language regarding drug use and addiction and unresolved issues with victim-blaming, but I don't think either took too much from the story.
